Trouty56 567 #2 Posted April 10, 2012 Hey Roost....better get an engine in that Electra.....lol. I got three hydros that push just fine. I wouldn't be banging around with them though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trouty56 567 #4 Posted April 10, 2012 Do you mean a front push blade or a grader blade. A couple guys on here have made theirs. I have front blades for pushing. Canwhlvr made one not long ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,189 #5 Posted April 10, 2012 It'll do just fine as long as the hydro is strong. Don't over due it, take half bites if you are pushing piles of dirt if you have to. I leveled over 20 yrds of top soil with a little old 702. She did just fine. The Electro 12 is one of my favorite models. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
